mohammed elbaradei. one more note from this region tonight. it's been said that this movement may not stop here, other governments have something to fear. saudi arabia's been mentioned, jordan's been mentioned. today jordan's king dissolved his government, is replacing the prime minister. it's seen by most people in this region as a kind of kanny preemptive move. it's been said if the king of egypt had done what the king of jordan did today a few weeks back, he might have avoided all these troubles. >>> now we switch regions, specifically back home to the united states. a storm so big it almost runs from coast to coast. east to west at one point this thing measured something like 2,100 miles. a massive storm delivering a lot of snow, enough to have blizzard warnings posted in nine separate states. and chicago is the focus of a lot of attention. they could get two plus feet of snow as this ugly and awful winter of 2010-2011 continues. kevin tibbles heads up our coverage. al roker is also there, but we begin tonight with kevin. good evening. >>
